CSF2RB mutation-related hereditary pulmonary alveolar proteinosis: the "long and winding road" into adulthood

Spyros A Papiris et al. ERJ Open Res. .

Abstract

Genetic analysis pre-lung transplantation diagnosed a case of hereditary pulmonary alveolar proteinosis (PAP) complicated by fibrosis in adulthood. The need for genetic testing in GM-CSF autoantibody negative and unclassifiable PAP is highlighted. https://bit.ly/3QcsYwM.

FIGURE 1
a) Histological features of lung video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery biopsy (2004, at the age of 29 years; 18 years prior to transplantation) showing pulmonary alveolar proteinosis (PAP) and chronic lymphocytic inflammation associated with interstitial cholesterol clefts granulomas and cystically dilated subpleural alveolar spaces with collagenous fibrosis; scale bar=500 μm. b) Chest computed tomography scan performed in 2013 at the age of 38 years shows extensive patchily distributed ground-glass opacities and nodular consolidations with some subpleural sparing (arrow). A few cysts are present, but there are no signs of distortion; pure crazy-paving pattern is not disclosed probably due to the hereditary nature of the development of the disease and the very long evolution in this patient. c) 9 years later, at the age of 47 years, ground-glass opacities and consolidations have dramatically decreased, replaced by numerous clustered cysts. d) Histological features of the explanted lungs showing mixed PAP and usual interstitial pneumonia (UIP) patterns with honeycombing and fibrosis on the explanted lung; note the clear demarcation between the PAP areas and UIP areas with minimal overlap (haematoxylin and eosin stain); scale bar=1000 μm.
